- I feel it on my cheek, I woke up with gravel discomfort.

I tried to tongue it unintentionally, but I think back and stop thinking about the situation just before I lost consciousness.

Carefully, in an attempt to grasp the surrounding situation, the werewolf's instinct as a… warrior of the Vermillion family began to work.

"... because"

".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

At the same time that my senses became clear, I heard someone and someone arguing.

... The echo of the sound tells me that it looks like it's in the cave.

Speaking of which, before I left my parents' house. I knew my father and mother used to fight in the middle of the night.

Even then, I feel just like this.

One is Angry, the other is Forgiver. And for a while, that was the replacement and the replacement... eventually, my father always apologized. And my mother, without showing such a power relationship at all outside the house, did not forget to set up her father, every once in a while.

I mean, in the end, they were a good couple, and that's what I was envious of.

... and I can't get such a future for myself that I couldn't be like my father or my mother, so I thought.

That's too miserable.

That house was a place of pride and relief for me, but it was, after all, poison.

I may have really resented my parents for showing off what I didn't have.

... I hate to be caught up in such paranoia, but I can't shake it off.

In order to escape such a loose poison that he was unwilling to respond, I fled to your Majesty... to your daughter. When I raised my name in the castle and continued to defend the honor of the house, it was also an excuse.

Yeah, I can finally be honest, but that was just a strength, an excuse.

Yes, just, like now in custody.

A house called Vermillion was the chain that binds me, maybe not.

"So he said it was an unexpected thing. You surprised me."

"I don't know! Spend your time for a guy like that who doesn't know what to do, in case there is...!

"It's nice to be cautious, you're strangely nervous today. Why are you so tingly?

"Become,...! … No, let's get this far"

"Oh, my God? What's the matter with you?

"It looks like the customer is awake."

After those words, I felt the consciousness for both of us turn toward me, who was sneaking out to breathe.

"With this feeling (...), it looks like you've been awake for a while, but you haven't named Dada a militant. The way you killed the signs, it was perfect. If I'm caught off guard, my shackles are going to be broken."

"Oh wow, you're a werewolf even if you rot."

"Besides, it's a battle freak Vermillion. If I hadn't been distracted, I wouldn't have fainted so well..."

"Hey, you're talking too much."

That said, the face I saw on the verge of losing consciousness approached me as I slept rolling tied up with one or two steps.

Garlic and a seemingly bottomless face appeared in a face of heaven and earth reversal.

"How are you feeling, young lady?

Grrrrr, and rings his throat and returns it.

If you're ever going to get any closer, even if it's just your neck, if you bite your neck off, put that kind of authority into it.

But the woman in front of her, taking it, flaunted her shoulders over, and leaned her neck against the other beside her, and showed her.

"Wonko...... looks like you're in a good mood Nana"

"It would be natural. Mr. Ninina, you mustn't get too close to the detour."

Ninina... That's a name I've heard of. I remember seeing it in a human copybook.

Nini-na Greenhill.

To my father at first. It has since been a name I have heard several times in the castle.

It's a convenient place to stay. Above all, your face is especially known among the apostles, a completely unidentified frigid woman.

I don't know the face next door, but it's probably a flavor of the apostle as well.

"Well, I guess I don't need to introduce myself to see that face. I wonder if I know my situation. Hey, Gallon Vermillion?

"Shut up. I'll kill you, man."

Again, oh wow, after whining.

The woman kicked up this jaw without any hesitation at all.

I didn't mean to be alarmed, but my vision shifts to more shocks than I expected, and I groan unexpectedly.

"Gu......!

"It's not the mouth you licked on a human being when you were a dog."

"Ki, Sama"

She was a thin woman.

but the earlier blow was such a powerful kick that it stunned me that I should have a tougher skeleton than a human.

It resounded to the core, incredibly created from this seemingly weak woman.

"I'll just leave you an explanation. Will you be sold from now on? Boy or merchant? That depends on who wins the bid."

……

"It was as good as you imagined, wasn't it? I have no pity for Atashi and the others... or at least for Atashi. Nah, Nine, is that you? What you demons have done to him..."

Right, Nine.

I was right in front of myself until I lost consciousness.

"Nine......! What happened to Nine?

"... it's none of your business." To the demons. Oh, I guess I'm just a livestock, too. Speaking of which, can't we say that there is room for human beings? "

"Answer the fucking question! Is Nine safe?!?

"I won't answer that. I told you it had nothing to do with you, right? Just worry about yourself. Just like you and the others bought you, I'll keep an eye out for you. The word karma, you know?

... while we continue our conversation, we tend to break the shackles of our backhand, but for some reason we are not even freaked out.

Even if it's made of iron, if it's your arm strength and physical strengthening magic, you should be free without bitterness by now!

"I know what we're grasping at. The records show how well I dragged Attickoch around in this short period of time. To Tiamaria, Reel Marr... I think I've missed you guys a long time to see your obsession with the Fox Girl, but did you brainwash her with the" original "bad taste experiment or something?"

"Hmm......!

"I don't know if I pawned it or not. Come on, how dare you, I was still alive. And at the end of the sentence, you pull me to such a cold place."

"Don't you people be with humans! We're such nasty copycats!

"Son of a bitch, you're only good at barking"

That said, I could put in another kick, but this time I didn't take my gaze off as I stared.

"... busy eyes. If it's a dog you don't miss, it's probably best to kill it."

"Try it, you piece of shit. Your neck is bound to fall off."

"... I thought I'd do it. But before you do, why don't you tell me how you and the others missed Nine because it's a corner? How can a human be such a priceless imitation?"

It's not human business to wave your tail at you.

That's what I told Ninina, I'll give her back with a smile on my nose.

"I didn't do anything. He wanted to talk about us."

"You idiot said you were off duty too. There's no way you or anyone else can stand by you."

"That's what happened. That fool is from us, the Beasts and the Demons... no."

……

I was on my side.

From the beginning, no.

He hasn't changed a bit. It was me who betrayed you first.

... the kindness of him.

He's full of himself, and you're not even going home.

... Really, I hated us for taking my hometown. So I'm sure, that's how it turned out to be a chig hug.

Still, I must have liked him for trying to understand me.

But I was scared that even humans would accept my spiciness, which nobody understood.

"... what are you laughing at, that's disgusting"

"... pathetic, human"

Nine is still untrained by humans. I know that.

Because he regretted what happened at Tiamaria.

"Hmm?

"You humans were abandoned by Nine a long time ago. You were so sweeter than anyone. You guys were so sweet."

So what I'm going to say is a lie, a grudge, on eight.

"Hmm? What, what are you talking about?

"He has sworn to destroy man in front of his daughter… His Majesty. He's on our side. Sorry to hear that."

And it's a curse.

It seems that he has no more to give to man.

So that he can do all the raw things without leaving the lady who can't possibly win every human time.

"It's your otum that's unfortunate. I have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, like a pet, you just got emotional - but..."

"He won't betray me. I'm done, too, Hara. He's in Diabolo, and he sees you perish."

... I'm sorry I couldn't be there for a little while.

I don't doubt him anymore.

That's all, because I want to be the last one left to me, "I look like me."

I'm proud of what he believed in me, because I want to die.

"You don't sound like a concurrent fool, congratulations. When she gets back to her sanity, the first thing she has to do is look at the gap and figure out how to escape."

"Give him..."

So.

"Don't let him be with humans! He's one of mine!

Please stay safe, Nine.

- Ninina turns her heels back and speaks to the people beside her.

"... uh, this is really... unexpected"

That said, Soprano spoke to Nina, who twisted her neck again.

"Ninina, I don't like you very much."

"No, no, no, no. No way, look"

"Love over racial differences, isn't it? Well... even if it doesn't come to fruition this time"

"'Cause I did a good job of finding out. Nine, after all, seems to have recently been sold by the Demons. Do you miss werewolves so quickly? Or is this among the' original 'experiments?

"Hmm... well, I can't say time is the best way to cultivate love"

"I know. You're not smart, for a little girl's habit."

"Even Mr. Ninina, isn't there a shadow of a man? I can't mislead my ears."

"Wow, I'm angry."

"Besides, the sale is the last resort. First, we need to negotiate with Diabolo."

"So, soprano, you're not my brother-in-law, but you talk too much extra."

That said, after waving a light fist bone at the soprano, Ninina was caught and walked over again to the werewolf, who remained rolled.

"... okay, even if you threaten me too much. I want to ask you something, and I honestly don't expect you to."

There's nothing more to talk about.

"Now you want to know about that kid named Nine?

"A little edge, a little cause and effect... maybe he knows a little bit about her."

Gallon, with her eyes open to Ninina's words, opens her mouth for a moment.

"... I told you to say that. Oh, Nine's safe, huh?

"I will not tolerate questions. I don't even allow objections. If I tell you what I want to know, I may occasionally get zero information that is convenient to you. Okay?"

In reply, which was within the expectations, but which was also unpleasant, Gallon had to give a bitter look.

"... chip"

"Aurai. This is solitary, but negotiations are concluded"

After our tongue, we regarded the will of the silent gallon as acceptance, and Ninina tried to keep the word going again, but the soprano blocked it.

"Please wait, Mr. Ninina! What are you thinking?"

"... I'm sorry. Just be silly and shut up."

"Oh no. Let's take him home now, why do we still have to stay in the Vermillion?"

"Hmm..."

"I don't care about the traitor. Well, Mr. Abyss and Mr. Rogue may be responsible, but if you care about that, that's not what you look like."

Caught werewolves naturally don't miss hearing those words.

After all, I thought, this isn't that far from my own home.

It was a geology I remember and air, although it was a place I'd never been in.

I caressed my head, either discerning the thoughts of such a gallon or without daring to glorify Soprano's such rudeness, just seemed sorry.

"I'm sorry."

"... it's sloppy. That's fine. I'm the one who always struggles."

I'm sorry.

One bitter laugh, Ninina brutally stroked Soprano's head again and turned to the gallon again.

"Hmm, what did you hear from..."

"... don't say a word about Diabolo's feelings."

"You don't have to say anything extra. In the first place, I don't expect you to have a reputation for muscles up to your brain."

"Gu."

"... First of all, you, Nine. That kid was bought the other fall. Is this correct?

……

"You know where you stand? Or, if you can't talk to me to this extent, I'm done talking about this."

"... oh. You're not wrong."

"Yeah, next time then. That's First Lost... from Nile Village, really?

"That's what I hear."

"Until you and the others bought it, what were you doing?

"You guys were selling and buying humans."

"... yeah, well, as far as advance information goes,"

"How does Temeer know about him?"

"It's up to you to look into it. Not so far. What you want to know is it was before here, right? What Atashi wants to know is what's ahead from here."

……

So for once, Ninina peered into Gallon's eyes.

Gallon wonders unexpectedly, looking back at it.

No matter what, the color of malice was also floating there, but it wasn't just that, it was curiosity and what other emotions lurked beyond understanding.

"Can we talk about this first?"

"Am I?"

"... Atashi, I had two sisters."

"Huh?"

- That's the story of the center point of the world's distortion.
